there you are, 10 years of age, living in the ghetto, about to purchase your first hand gun. you're not thinking 'what would my dad say if he knew' because your dad has been gone for years. left your mum while you were young because he didn't fancy family life and wanted something more .. no responsibility.
you don't care what your mum thinks either because she's the reason you're in this mess. her giving birth to you and not being somebody your dad wanted to stay with is the reason you're living in poverty with no means of escape. her working long hours in low paying work, leaving you alone for hours a day is the reason you need to buy a hand gun. the local gangs are harassing you and you've had enough and want to be able to stand up to them.
you make your purchase, take your shot and life as you knew it, as crap as it was, is over. now you live in a detention center for wayward boys.
and that's how much of the world works now that god has left us to live in the heavens (where man/religion put him) instead of living among us. once upon a time we were told god is everywhere, watching us, taking note of our actions. yet just like an absent dad his dissatisfaction has become irrelevant. his punishment is irrelevant. he no longer exists in our world and has become some outer worldly being, watching yet never intervening.
even priests who practice man's religion based on their 'supposed' belief in god do not care about god's dissatisfaction or punishment. why else would priests molest children if they really truly believed in an all powerful being who will cast them down into the pits of hell for recklessly causing harm to another human being? repent? really? what for? because you know your father has abandoned you and his punishment is irrelevant.
even priests who practice man's religion do not care about god's disbelief in greed, gluttony, coveting. there is loads of that going on in the vatican and there has been for a great many many years among religions. and what of god's punishment for them? it doesn't matter because these guilty men pretend they'll repent on their death bed's and all will be forgiven - because suddenly god is real and merciful even though he stands idle and does nothing while man sins.
god can't reach us from the heavens.
it's much the same for the divine woman. she has been banished and portrayed as a sinner (while man sins). she has been reduced to whore, witch, the weaker sex, irrelevant in the scheme of things because man and god rule. she is seen as the cause of the problem. the reason humanity is in this mess. her giving birth, being a temptress and getting pregnant. the divine woman is no longer seen as a blessing, the blessing of life. she is no longer seen as divine in her powers to love and nurture and be all knowing about nature. while god has been punished to the heaves, unable to watch over his children in any meaningful parenting way, the divine woman is cursed and hated for having existed and made everything wrong with her sinful ways.
man will continue to suffer for as long as we keep god at a distance and pretend our actions do not matter. the reality is our actions are being watched, he notices and his opinions matter, just as that of a loving father. same with the divine woman who birthed the people and nurtures them as best she can no matter how we rebel.
to be born is to be guardians of the earth and all that inhabit it.
